Christmas Films Special

It's Christmas Eve and the Tortoise are tearing up the rulebook for one day, meaning there's no science or wildlife chat this time. Instead, we talk to our previous guests about their favourite Christmas films. It's a nostalgic dive through some absolute classics, so grab a mince pie and come and join us! There's also some big news about our first ever live recording, coming to the Royal Institution in February 2025. https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/who-moved-tortoise-live-podcast-recording
